If you're using it to complement an existing business you have a good chance at it being the best choice you ever made. It's harder if you're older and are looking to break into a new career.

I took it as a joke, hence the "mortician" comeback.
It's not all that hard, with the exception of all the writing that is involved. Most of the MBA program (from my POV) is simply a more in-depth rehash of undergraduate studies. I'm not looking to make a gain from obtaining my MBA, although it should give me more doors to open once finished, I'm doing it more as a personal goal.
I never thought I was smart enough to make it in College when I graduated HS, hence my Enlistment in the USAF. To be totally honest, I really don't think the young me would've had the patience of the old me to put the effort into my studies. Like you stated, the GI Bill takes a lot of the punch out of Undergrad and Grad studies.
